RE: QNX 4.23a install problems
Hi Mark,
You have to understand that you are dealing with a very old version of our OS, it supports limited hardware and the
number of people we have, here at QNX, that remember anything about this version is even more limited.
A couple of things that might be worth looking at:
- has your BIOS been setup correctly for this new drive? For some reason I think it needs to be, but I could be wrong :
-)
- you should be able to boot from the boot floppy, then issues any commands that the install program does manually, if
you know the exact commands and where everything is... I think all commands would need to be prefixed with /bin i.e. /
bin/Fsys you should root around on the boot floppy and see what you find, and where, then start experimenting.
Or.. if you have another machine that is running the same version of QNX, you could try hooking this new drive up to
that machine, until you figure out how to get it working. Then use that knowledge when doing the actual install.
I hope this helps a little.
-Martin.

I'm not aware of any other way to install the O/S, other than the install program. Have you tried another disk driver
other than Fsys.eide? You could try the Fsys.ide driver and see if that makes any difference.
Unfortunately I don't have any "old" machines here to try the 4.23 install. I have no idea where the "/dev/hd0 failed to
initialize" message is coming from. Is this the exact message?
